I just bought the advanced charging hub as well as a p4 charger to use with it. I'll give my reviews and thoughts on it when I receive.

To fully take advantage of the advanced battery charging hub, you'll also need to pick up the following items:
With the addition of these two items, you'll be able to charge 4 batteries in 2.5 hours (instead of 4 hours).
As stated here on DJI's website:I believe I read on their website that the charging times with the p4 charger(100w) is at 2 hours and 20 minutes. Also the mavic charger (50w) charging time is at 5 hours and 10 minutes.
As stated here on DJI's website:
"Charge Time* (Four Batteries): 4 hrs 10 mins (Mavic Charger); 3 hrs 15 mins (Mavic Car Charger); 2 hrs 30 mins (Phantom 4 Charger / Car Charger)"
Is the car charger faster because of a higher output of the power socket of a car? Reason I'm asking is because my Tahoe has an actual 3-prong power outlet (shown in photo). If I plug my standard charger and charging hub to my Tahoe's 3-prong outlet, will it charge my 4 batteries in approx. 3 hours as opposed to 4 hours in my house?

Yes I believe the car charger has a slightly higher output making it charge faster.

Yea that's what I meant haha. He just worded it a lot better than I did.
So would the order of fasting charging cables would be this? (Slowest to fastest)
Mavic charger
Mavic car charger
P4 car charger (with adv hub)
P4 charger (with adv hub)

Thanks. And now I know why: Car charger is faster than normal charger?
But I don't know why DJI did it that way. Why not design house charger to output 6A like the car charger, instead of 3.83A?

Been parallel charging for many years. I still have yet to receive my Mavic ( this Friday ) so I'm basing this on information that I have personally not verified. The Mavic battery's are 3830Mah and can be charged at 2C. That's 7660 mah's or 7.6amps. If your charging 2 battery's in parallel you will need a minimum of 15.2amps and better would be a 20 amp power supply. Both battery's should charge safely and in about 45 minutes!
I still need to confirm the 2C charge rate but that sounds to be correct. The Yx charger that is available is charging at a much lower "C" rate because it is parallel charging 3 battery's and does not have the available amperage to do this at 2C. Therefore the overall charging time is considerably longer. Can't wait to start digging into this Mavic!

My little power supply, only 23amps available but good for all my small stuff! Actually charging a few 1s 3.7volt battery's
